Hey thanks Stormin and DanG. Got it starter this morning, it wasn't the
fuel. Took the carb apart and blow compressed air through every hole. Seem
like the needle seat may have gotten stuck. One pull and fired right away,
runs great and lots of power.

Sorry to hear it's giving you so much trouble. When an engine floods like
that, sometimes I take the plug out, and then yank the start rope a couple
times. Blow a bunch of fresh air into the chamber.

Isn't the quality of everything going down? Seems that way to me.

Did it run OK right before you put it in storage?

Oh yes, ran really well.

Runs rich means either
it's feeding too much gas, or too little air. Yah, basic stuff. How did
you
know too rich? Black spark plug?

Black plug, fliter was full of dirt.



Try it with part choke. If it's running lean, then it will run better
with
part choke. What comes to mind, is that on B & S Engines, sometimes the
gasket dries out, between the carb and the engine. That makes it nearly
impossible to start (have to use ether or some gas in the air intake).


Couldn't even get it started now, flush out the "new" regular gas and
replace fresh premium gas and clean the plug.

With the exception oh Honda, don't have luck with new engines (4 or 2
cycle), my old engines will start within 3 pulls.
